WHEREAS, Coursera makes available various forms of Platform Services through or in connection with its Platform (“Platform Services”), and Partner desires to obtain such Platform Services, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. COURSE CONTENT.

1.1 Course Specifications. Before Coursera, at its option, launches any Partner Course on the Platform, the Parties must agree on applicable Course specifications, including Course details, duration, launch date, and related matters.

1.3 Instructor Consent and Required Releases. Before uploading Course Content to the Platform, or allowing its Instructors to do so, Partner will ensure that it has obtained the required licenses and rights to the Course Content as well as a release of liability from the Instructor(s), any guest presenters, and any participants by having each Instructor, presenter, or participant, as applicable, sign the relevant Instructor Release, Guest Presenter Release, Participant Release, or other appropriate release and providing a copy of same to Coursera. The releases are attached as Exhibits A1-3 and can also be made available electronically upon request.

1.4 Course Content Collaboration. Partner will designate a main point of contact (“PoC”), project manager, and/or other individuals as requested by Coursera to enable Course Content creation and collaboration on matters pertaining to the Parties’ duties under the Agreement. Coursera will designate a dedicated partnership manager as the primary contact for Partner on any issues relating to the Course Content, Course administration, and any related matters. Guidelines for the creation of Partner’s administrative contacts can be found at https://legal.coursera.org/administrativeteam.html.

is of low technical quality or otherwise fails to meet Course Criteria;

ii.

constitutes inappropriate advertising content (as opposed to content with a direct pedagogical purpose);

iii.

Coursera reasonably determines may violate applicable law; or

iv.

is in violation of any of Partner’s policies governing Instructor, presenter, or student behavior. Partner will make a copy of such policies available to Coursera upon request.

1.7 Course Availability.

a. Once enrollment for a Course has begun, Partner may not remove, block, or suspend access, or authorize an Instructor to remove, block, or suspend access, to the Course Content prior to the scheduled end date of the Course.

Confidential

b. Partner agrees to make the Course Content launched hereunder available on Coursera properties for at least three years from the initial date the specific video, assessment, or other Course Content first becomes publicly available on the Coursera properties. Thereafter, Partner may request that Coursera remove such Course Content, provided that Partner must provide sixty (60) days prior written notice (the “Notice”). Coursera will have the right to continue to provide the relevant Course Content for a reasonable period, not to exceed twelve (12) months (the “Wind Down Period”) from Coursera’s receipt of the Notice (the “Notice Date”), to Learners who are (i) enrolled in the Course or Course Content as of the Notice Date; (ii) a part of organizations with outstanding contracts with Coursera as part of the Coursera for Business or related programs as of the Notice Date; and (iii) Coursera Plus subscribers or similar catalog-wide subscription offerings made available by Coursera as of the Notice Date.

Coursera will: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Platform reasonably accessible to Learners with disabilities, (ii) proactively provide captioning for Partner Courses offered to the public whose initial enrollment is above 10,000 Learners, and provide such captioning for Partner Courses whose initial enrollment is smaller, in a timely manner, upon request by an Learner with a disability, (iii) provide Partner with text transcripts of captions to facilitate Partner’s creation of audio captions for visual elements of its Course Content, to the extent such text transcripts have been created by Coursera, and (iv) provide a capability for collecting and displaying “crowd-sourced” annotations to Partner Course Content.

Partner is responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to Course Content-based accommodations for Learners with disabilities. Upon request, Coursera will provide assistance to Partner in providing such accommodations, for a fee to be mutually agreed upon.

c. Protocol for Accessibility to End Users with Disabilities. The Parties will cooperate to establish and maintain a set of protocols to address accessibility by end users with disabilities, available at: http://legal.coursera.org/accessibility.html

5.3 Registered Student Model. Partner may also choose to provide its Registered Students with access to a reasonable number of mutually agreed-upon Courses that do not exist in an open-content format on the Platform (“Registered Student Courses”). To the extent Partner wishes to offer more Registered Student Courses than Coursera is willing to host at no cost on the Platform, the Parties will negotiate the applicable fees.

6. PAYMENTS.

6.1 Monetization Models.

a. Partner agrees that each Partner Course (or bundled offering including a Partner Course), other than Registered Student Courses, may participate in Coursera’s Certificate Service (or any successor service thereto). In consideration for the license to use the Partner Course Content pursuant to Section 3.1(a), Partner will receive twenty five precent (25%) of Net Sales Revenue received for each Learner that opts into and pays for the Certificate Service for a Partner Course (“License Fee”). In compensation for the Partner’s ongoing provision of the Partner Services set forth in Article 4, Partner will receive twenty five precent (25%) of Net Sales Revenue received for each Learner that opts into and pays for the Certificate Service for a Partner Course (“Partner Services Fee”). “Net Sales Revenue” means Certificate Service sales receipts attributable to a Partner Course that are past the refund period, less any taxes, distribution costs (e.g., costs associated with online advertising and with Apple iTunes and other third party marketplaces) payable to third parties, and Platform support costs in excess of the norm (e.g., costs associated with scaling Jupyter Notebooks server support).

Confidential

b. To the extent Partner generates revenue directly from Learners (other than Registered Students) through the offering of Courses on the Platform, Partner agrees to provide Coursera with a percentage of revenue received, as mutually agreed to by the Parties in an addendum to this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed.

6.2 Payment Terms.

a. Electronic Fund Transfer Information. Partner must provide Coursera with its wire transfer information, including bank account details and wire instructions in order to allow Coursera to send Partner its License Fee and Partner Services Fee. The EFT Information form is located at: http://legal.coursera.org/eft.pdf. Coursera will ensure that such information is only shared with authorized employees and contractors and will treat such information as Confidential Information.

b. Taxes. Each Party will be responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, or other taxes that are levied or imposed on it by reason of the transactions under this Agreement (other than for taxes based on the other Party’s income). If a Party is required to pay any such taxes for which the other Party is responsible, then the taxes will be billed to and paid by such other Party.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY.

7.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means information disclosed by (or on behalf of) one party to the other party under (or in connection with) this Agreement that is marked as confidential or would normally under the circumstances be considered confidential information of the disclosing party, but in any event, Confidential Information does not include information that the recipient already knew, that becomes public through no fault of the recipient, that was independently developed by the recipient or that was lawfully given to the recipient by a third party.

7.2 Confidentiality Obligations. The recipient of any Confidential Information will not disclose that Confidential Information except to affiliates, employees, agents and professional advisors who need to know it and who have agreed in writing (or in the case of professional advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential. The recipient will ensure that those people and entities use such Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement, while using reasonable care to protect it. The recipient may also disclose Confidential Information when required by law after giving reasonable notice to the discloser, if permitted by law.

7.3 Return. Each Party hereby agrees to, within 30 days after Termination of the Agreement: (i) return all documents and tangible items it or its employees or agents have received or created pursuant to this Agreement pertaining, referring or relating to the other Party’s Confidential Information and (ii) return or certify in a writing attested to by a duly authorized officer of such Party that it has destroyed all copies thereof.

Confidential

8. LEARNER DATA.

8.1 Compliance with Law. Each Party’s use of Learner data and other information, including emails, will be subject to the Coursera Privacy Policy and all applicable laws, including anti-spam legislation in any jurisdiction the Course Content is available to Learners (e.g., Canada’s Anti-Spam Law). For the avoidance of doubt, where applicable law mandates express consent from the Learner prior to sending marketing communications to the Learner, and the disclosure of such use in Coursera’s Privacy Policy or otherwise by Coursera does not by itself satisfy the requirements such law, Partner must obtain the appropriate consent directly from Learners. In addition, Partner agrees to: (a) use Learner information only for purposes set out in this Agreement; (b) implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Learner’s personal information received from Coursera for loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction; (c) upon request, provide Learners with access to their personal information included in Learner data, as well as the ability to correct or delete it; and (d) make readily available to Learners a fair and objective recourse mechanism whereby they may submit complaints with respect to the handling of their personal information.

8.2 Allowable Marketing. Partners may only send emails to Learners regarding Partner- sponsored activities and such emails must be consistent with Partner’s high standards and not impose an unreasonable intrusion on a Learner’s time or resources.

8.3 Targeted Marketing. Partner agrees it will only send emails to Activated Learners. “Activated Learners” means Coursera Learners who have enrolled in and meaningfully engaged in Partner’s Course within the last two years (e.g., have watched at least 30 minutes of video lectures).

8.4 Confidentiality.

a. Partner Responsibilities. Partner will treat as Confidential Information any and all Learner data or information received from Coursera. In connection therewith, Partner agrees that it shall not use Learner emails or other information received hereunder to directly promote any massive open online course on a platform that is competitive to Coursera.

b. Coursera Responsibilities. Coursera will treat as Confidential Information any and all Learner data or information received from Partner or Learners who can be identified at the account level as Registered Students, and will not disclose this information to any third party without permission from Partner. Except with the prior consent of Partner, Coursera will not contact Learners subject to the Registered Student Model other than regarding routine administrative matters, including site maintenance.

8.5 Research. Coursera will share Learner information with researchers, and any research or experimentation on Learners through the Platform will be conducted, pursuant to the Coursera Research Policy available at: http://legal.coursera.org/research.html. Amendments to the Research Policy will be approved by the University Advisory Board, or a committee appointed by the University Advisory Board.
